Warfield run. Most important to note, there is a reason that they are playing electric sets that are less interesting than Aug/Sept or Nov. '80. THESE SHOWS ARE RECORDING SESSIONS, NOT MERELY DEAD CONCERTS. Jerry is clearly Feeling It all night on 10/10 though, 2 songs made it Dead Set and 2 others are filler for the extended release. Franklin's, Candyman, Row Jimmy, Althea, Jack Straw, all pitch perfect in the 1st E set. 2nd E set is great all the way through. Is it Lewiston or Alligator Alley? No, but they deliver a long smoking 2nd E set here, uncharacteristic of the run. Anyone who has gone deep with this Warfield run knows that there are many shows that are truly forgettable and this is not one of them.

Roll away the Dew
Note: Pretty much try to avoid reviewing after Mind Wonderin' kinda like I am the Monkees trying to go on after Jimi Hendrix. Acoustic Set 5 stars>
...
but then again I think each and every 1980 acoustic set deserves that recognition. Electric sets 4 stars> a whole entire 2 set show after the acoustic material WOW! While the sound is good and lively there are times especially between songs that the dead air is a bit of a buzz kill. But bless our tapers, I can crank this with no problem! Sweet Candyman Jack Straw as a 1st electric set closer ! The pre-drums 3rd set is solid and thick especially considering they had already done two sets of music. RXR Blues is another song that I undervalued until getting into the GD archives great placement here I have never heard Promised Land being the last rocker of the night

Long one
Though this is a long show from the tour (the middle set is 1:20, the third is nearly 2), the playing is average overall. There are no great single-point
...
sources for this date; they all devolve to some extent and all of the uncorrected origins are pitched incorrectly. Tracks from this show have shown up on four official releases and reissues. First Set. This is one of the times that Bobby goes with "that girl" instead of "fat girl" for On the Road Again. There are 19 of these, but this is one of the best. The next couple are not as noticeable, but this may be the single best Jack-a-Roe of the eleven. It's also a long-familiar version, since it was on Reckoning. The solo is perfection and I love the quoted melody. Dark Hollow is likewise. Jer's fills behind Bobby are great and the solos are jaw-droppers. Get a bandaid or pillow. To Lay Me Down becomes stand-out at the 2nd solo - way nice. Bird Song, while maybe not the best from the shows, is still great. Because Ripple was played at all 25 shows, you can be choosy; but this has its charms (the harmonizing is a bit different, as is Brent's tinkling). Second Set. This set is average '80 fare except for an insane Franklin's Tower - 8½min with some genuine faXtor, sans Help>Slip. The meat of the set is certainly solid enough. Jer takes two measures for the Uncle solo; the 2nd is nice. The Big River is a lot like a '74. Jer stretches here, too, but I could do without Brent's tinklebell preset - which sounded better/thicker from the stacks than it does on the SBDs. Candyman ain't bad but it's unusually spare. Beat it on Down the Line-8 is tossed off. Minglewood is more powerful in the full version than on Dead Set, where it has three edits: @0:23, 29sec are cut, taking one measure from the 1st Jer solo; @2:30, a 28sec cut takes one measure from the Brent solo; & a 1min24sec cut @3:15 takes one measure from Bobby's slide solo and all of the 2nd Jer solo. These cuts on the chappell are approximately 1:20>1:49, 3:01>3:29, & 4:13>5:37. The tail-out of Althea is great but the one a few days earlier is better. Average '80 set but Jer's solos are money throughout this show. Third Set. Scar>Fire has some big moments, especially the latter. Samson is simply one of the year's best. It was chopped up for Dead Set: The first 9sec are missing; @0:23 33sec of the intro solo are cut; 38sec from the 2nd solo are cut (3:33>4:11 on the chappell MTX/@2:39 on DS); and the 3rd solo is cut by ~1:03 (5:10>6:13 on the chappell and @~3:35 on DS). Big Railroad is a full-on stomper. Estimated also flows on that energy. Though Eyes is way uptempo, it doesn't gel - or maybe that's why. Most of the rest is average '80, though the Truckin' has a brief Nobodys Fault jam (the only one of '80...I think), and Black Peter is one of the potent, stadium types. 1st Set: B 2nd Set: C+ 3rd Set: B- Overall = 3¼ stars Highlights: On the Road Again - a top version Jack-a-Roe - perfection, maybe the best of the tour Dark Hollow - check Jer's fills behind Bobby Franklin's Tower - huge, faXtor Franks Samson & Delilah - one of '80's best Big Railroad Blues - a stomper Black Peter - Jer plays to every last seat SOURCES: The hinko_14386 SBD is the best 1st set. Other SBD sources of the first set are pitched slow - the unknown_73820 is a whole step down. SBDs are either missing or funky for the other sets. The best overall source for these is the chappell_sb03_28740. It patches the music gaps and compiles the best sources - however all are incorrectly pitched in various ways [2nd set needs +1% through Minglewood and -2% for the last two. The third set needs -2% for the first three; +3% for Railroad, Estimated, Peter and Around; and +2% for the rest]. All of the sources are poor from Truckin' onward and levels are deficient on most. The cousinit_24710 is a low-gen AUD, not a SBD. The ellner-marino is the best source for the last two songs, but needs -2% pitch correction. Jack-a-Roe is on Reckoning. Parts of Minglewood and Samson are on Dead Set. Row Jimmy and Jack Straw are on bonus copies of that release. Estimated is on the extra disc in the Beyond Description box [albeit pitched incorrectly, needing -1%].

Best show I've found
I have been searching and listening for about a year for a show to play at my 50th birthday party. I saw about 30 shows mostly between 1982 and 1986 so
...
I am partial to the Brent years. This show just happens to be of that era but the reason I choose it as the best I have heard is for the tightness of the playing and the classic Jerry restraint allowing the band, including Brent, to flower and bloom. I was looking for the best possible example of the band's prowess to impress my friends, including a few musicians, with the Dead's range and musicianship. Having the amazing acoustic set as a precursor is icing on this delicious cake. The electric show stands on its own as the finest I have found. The small venue allows for subtle playing and the recording and mix capture the tone perfectly.

Almost too good to be ture. Like a miracle. Extra super hot. Forget about it. This is the prime right here, you can have 77' or 72' this one is oh so perfect.

I'm no expert but I'll fight for any track from this show. I would have gone wild at this show. I would have done a lot to get to this show to bad I wasn't alvie yet!

a better copy of the sbd with the aud. The performance of the acoustic material is top notch.
